The statement made by Justin Mccarthy
at the Parnell banquet that Lord Churchill
once appealed to the Nationalist to nomi-
nate him for Parliament on an extreme
Home Rule platform has put that lively
statesman in ''hole." His Tory friends are
calling upon him loudly to deny it, but I'M
fortunately there is some correspondence in
existence which if he should undertake to
respond to the Tories could be used to
shove him still further into the hole. Con-
sistency has not been one of Lord Church
Ills strong points, and it will probably be no
surprise to those who have watched his ca
reer to find him in his present dilemma.

UNCLE SAM IN HAWAII.

The American residents of the Sandwich
Islands pay larger portion of the taxes of
that domain than any other foreigners do,
and nearly as arge an amount as the ma
tiyes, the totals for each class respectively
being S102,567 and $112796 in the last year
for which figures are available. This, how
ever, furnishes but one of the reasons why
the United States should get undivided con-
troll over that country rather than permit it
to become dependency of any of the big
European nations

Inc grievances Of one supplemented pau
per n Maine are likely to be heard by an
tribunal, though it has taken a
great deal Of trouble and expense to bring it
about Miss Ida Hutchinson has been for
some time charge on the town Of Atkinson,
in Piscataquis county. A few weeks ago,
while the keeper Of the farm, with his wife,
was away attending funeral, Miss Hutch
inson set fire to the buildings and they were
destroyed She confessed at once that she
did it for revenge upon the mistress of the
farm, who had, she declared, treated her
brutally. The poor simpleton has been
bound over in the sum of one thousand dol
lars for appearance at the next term of court
to be tried for burning the buildings; but
justice is not one-sided in Piscataqus coun-
ty, and the lady of the poor farm is also
bound over to be tried on charge of beating
the girl with bat stick. No inhumanity is
worse than that practiced on the feeble
minded and helpless. If the mistress of the
Atkinson town farm has been disciplining
her charges with bat stick, little correc-
ton from the court will be wholesome les
son for her, and perhaps for some other mas
tiers and mistresses of poor farms.l

editor of the LEDGER wishes to state
that he will entertain him in any way,

after he attends to the previous
charge Of being a ''daty liar and

treat him with that contempt which

Lectures by noteworthy people
have been having a run here for two
or three weeks. Among those promi-
nent were Rev. Jos. Cook, of Bos-
ton, and Gen. Lew Wallace. Their
lectures did not attract large audi
ences, possibly on account Of high
prices, but nevertheless, those who
did attend were well pleased, and
the most of them consider the price
we'll spent.
On Sunday, May 29th, the Baccal-
aureate rln will be delivered at
the University Chapel. The music
on this occasion will be of interest,
as it will be rendered by a full
chorus, accompanied by the Colum-
bia orchestra of eight pieces. The
selections will be: THE Heavens Are
Telling" by Haydn, and Gloria"
from the 18th Mass, by Mozart. On
the following Thursday, June I'd,
commencement exercises will open,
when the McAnally gold medal will
be awarded to the best essayist; and
during tue week and following the
above the Stephens gold medal on
test will take place, the prize to be
awarded for the best Grafton. At
Stephens College and the Christian
College commencement exercises will
doubtless be i~naugurated as last
year, on the same date of the Uni
versity, and the programmes for
these two institutions will undoubt-

Stuff and Nonsense.

From the richmond Democrat.
Bro. White, of the Mexico LEDG-
ER, seems to be surprised that Boon
vile should be chosen as the locality
for the Reform School for boys,
when Mexico and other towns in the
State had made much larger dona-
tions. The Board of Commissioners
evidently had in their mind that in
an institution of this character they
would be necessarily compelled to
use a great deal of water, which is
scarce in the section of country
around Mexico, and very abundant
at Boonville. W. have our doubts
whether they should have located it
at either place. We are not certain
but what it is a little cheeky for the
people of any town with open saloons
-pauper and murder mills-to ask
for the location of a Reform School
In their midst. Bro. White, wipe
out your saloons and pauper-making
establishments, and you will be in
a better fix to ask for reformatory in
situations.
